Analyisis of Scarecrow

Scarecrow The Christian music industry is renowned for its many deep, thought provoking songs, but there is none whose lyrics capture my mind like the song “Scarecrow”, written and composed by the band Skillet. This song is a reflection of the writer’s perspective of his life as a scarecrow. The artist proposes that we as Christians need to surrender everything to Christ in order to gain a meaningful relationship with Him. The chorus is …

…children, we must lay everything down at His feet. Like the scarecrow in this song, we as Christians seeking a closer relationship with Him, need to recognize the importance of the three fundamentals in our walk with God. We must come to a point of knowing who He is, loving Him for his mercy, and finally carrying out His will in our life, before we can truly grasp the meaning of our lives as Christians.
